Here's a question for you:

However, I have joists that are around 1700mm deep, so the maximum notch allowed would be just about 22mm (1/8th is about 21mm). Would I ...

I'm planning to drain down my dad's central heating system soon, and thought i'd take the opportunity to do a flush with mains water like in TomPlum's video before refilling.

system was drained because of a new rad and has been filled back up and all bleed but still no hot water or heating????????????

Finaly got round to replacing the ball valve in the loo,Mrs Canny politely reminded me its only been in the draw 18mth's :lol:
To be honest it was getting more like a ships horn but its nice a quiet in Canny towers tonight :thumbright:

Hi,

many thanks

Hi All,

Just had our survey report back from a house we've offered on, one of the things they picked up on was the drainage, and it mentions possible re-laying of the drains, just wondering what sort of price we'd be talking about? Here's the bit about the drainage

I was helping out someone yesterday, they needed to rearrange a bit of pipework which had been done in 15mm plastic pipe. The only stuff i've used is the JG Speedfit, this stuff was using a different kind of plastic fitting.

I used a couple of my JG Speedfit fittings on it, and it seemed to work ok, but just wanted to confirm that it is OK to mix the brands.

I didn't ...
